Let puppy feed freely all the time?

[kayi078]

anyway i just pour 1 cup of dry dog food into the bowl and free feed him. He ate 3/4 of the cup...this is the first time we free feed him. He felt uncomfortable after eating a lot..should i continue to free feed him? Before the free feed i gave him 1/2 cup daily..He's 5 month old and he's already housebroken.

Have fun with your new puppy!! I just got my little yorkie girl, and I free feed also.
He is so little, I hope that he will eat good for you.

I started Winnie on NutriSource puppy and free fed until 5 months then she went to Wellness for small breed and was free fed. Lastly, I got a sample of Taste of the Wild High Prairie and mixed some of that in. She would pick that out right away and gobble it up. So now I have to have feeding times of 6:45 am 1/2 cup of moistened Taste of the Wild and then 7 pm 1/4 cup of Taste of the Wild dry. She loves it so much that I can't leave it out.

Thanks a lot I'll be getting him tomorrow, let's see if I could sleep through this night

How's your girl doing? And how is it with potty training when you free feed her?

He's a year old. He weighs less than five pounds. He can be a picky eater, but the food he does the best on is Taste of the Wild. I would definitely recommend free feeding a puppy. Yorkies can be timid about eating, and they can suffer from hypoglycemia if you aren't careful. On the advice of my breeder, I added a little bit of corn syrup to Knox's water bottle and shook it up good until he was about 12 weeks old. He never had any issues with crashing.

Okay, so I'm following your advices and free feeding my baby in the last 2 days that he's here. The thing is, he simply doesnt eat - or one or two kibbles at a time. Sometimes I'm so worried I would put some honey on my finger to let him lick it. He seems like it a lot.

I called the breeder to tell her my worry, she said it's okay and he would soon begin to eat like normal. She's a reputable breeder in my city and i want to believe her words so much...

which food u feeding him?

[Micah my love]

I see my babies go by and get 1 or 2 kibbles at the time, that is one of the reasons i like free feeding they are just having a snack when they do this

I have 1 that likes to eat during the night i can hear her crunching kibbles at times some like to eat when i do and will clean the bowl

I have never had one to go down with low sugar

I got 1 kg mixed food from the breeder. It's Royal Canine Yorshire Terrier Junior mixing with Platinum Mini Junior. She told me it's an optimal mix according to her 20 years of breeding experience.
